I truly found the Aaron Carter documentary insightful and essentially explanatory.
Imagine being a young man who essentially is the breadwinner and responsible for grown adults livelihoods.
That pressure is enough to make anyone crack talk less a child.
I remember the days of getting up for school was a task for me, I couldn’t imagine being a small boy on set from morning to evening.
What is normal in that. While watching ‘Aaron Carter Little Prince’.
It gave me nostalgia of my childhood.
He was our Justin Bieber in that era.
And I remember the song ‘I want Candy’ from the episode of ‘Lizzie Mcguire’.
I remember hearing his death in the morning.
It hit me like a ton of bricks.
He was only 34.
But the sad thing is it wasn’t so unexpected.
But just like everyone else I never knew when did he really start to fall from grace.
And this documentary gave more insight, and it was very disturbing.
He worshipped his equally talented brother Nick Carter.
And through wanting to be close to him he did a performance with back flips at around 9 years during a Backstreet Boys tour and the rest is history it catapulted him to fame, and led to him signing his first contract.
And behind the scenes people didn’t know his parents were going through a separation, and he even said he felt it was his fault what a burden to carry.
I don’t think he got a sense of stability.
The Carters grew up poor, and I feel he essentially put the pressure on himself to improve his family’s circumstances.
With that already wobbly structure anything can throw that person off balance.
So I feel he was already delicate.
And anyone who knows showbiz is anything but delicate.
I hate when people say drug addicts are bad people as we are all addicts in a sense.
We are all addicted to something like chocolate or cheeky slice of extra pizza.
Not all necessary good.
We all know too much of something isn’t good .
What’s sad drug addicts don’t know when enough is enough,also we don’t ever ask what makes someone takes drugs in the first place.
We are always so quick crucify
What was the real kicker the documentary showcased Aaron’s epic production skills.
I get the feeling he was lonely by the way he fell in love fast and had low self esteem with evidence of always responding to internet trolls.
To me he felt like a gumball machine in regard to the music industry just taken out and when ran out flavour spat out and forgotten about.
I truly feel he was casted aside and due to his personal issues never got the chance to regain his relevance,and that definitely can wreck havoc on a person’s mental state.
We as human beings aren’t perfect we all have the tendency to have down days but we have the luxury to do it behind closed doors.
Imagine your good an bad moments watched by the world.
Could you be ok.
Wouldn’t you crack up to?
I feel the documentary did it’s service in honouring Aaron Carter and raising awareness of mental heath and abuse.
But it made me ask a question.
Are we guilty?
Do we like the downfall and not helping the person rise up again.
Why do we continue to ignore cries for help even when were just next door.
If the question is not sincerely answered I think sadly there will be more casualties like Aaron Carter.
